Really mum???  Noah asked " YES" Lets have fun :O)

Noah played with everything, With only a little help from Mum with the punches.

Five things about myself

Until today,  I didn't know blog awards existed - Thank you Sherryn 

In order to accept the award I need to share 5 pieces of information about me that you don't know, 

and I think nominate another five GREAT bloggers

SO...

1. I had a nifty 80 for 3 years as my main ride in my teens.

2. My first BIG purchase was a caravan which I lived in for 2 years on friends sections. 

3. I collect eggs. 

4. Not into rugby

5. Always breaking things - lucky I live with a handyman. 

I would like to pass it on to five talented ladies, 

Just love visiting your blogs
